as an english speaking foreigner who is takign a lot of spanish here in Peru, i can tell you from personal i experience that i provide hours of free entertainment for my friends with my botched versions of really simple words. while i am always glad to bring sunshine to their dreary work day, reading this document is helping me save face. funny, true and informative. nice.

Essential! Language as ever is a minefield - ask any teacher of German who faces "die Fahrt" in the classroom or what the word "Tripper" means in German (gonorrhoea!) - not quite as subtle as the tilde but still never mind it's all part of the fun!

Bit o' fun here, and one reason to learn the language of the country you visit.
